grandis fruetus ignoti manebant; hz species stylo simplice insignes

non recedit, dum illius inflorescentia vix a cyma Spyridii Water-
housii divergit, etsi bracteolae nee magnse nec scariosz sunt, neque
persistunt. Cryptandra ob involucellum bractearum, quod sigil-
latim calycem sessilem cingit aut basin pedicelli cireumdat, melius
quam ullo alio tuto charactere a Spyridiis Trymaliisque dignosci
potest. Sie Spyridium subochreatum a Cryptandra spyridioide
florum dispositione vix differt, sed illius flores involucello speciali
Cryptandre orbati sunt. Hoc Spyridium subochreatum, quantum
Scio, unica est rhamnacea, qus e plagis Australie orientalibus in
occidentales migrat. Disci locatio et figura affirmationem generum
Trymalii Spyridii e£ Cryptandre parum adjuvat. Bractearum et
braeteolarum dispositio, legibus non sufficienter investigatis ob-
temperans, ulteriore eget scrutatione.

Flores cymosos paniculatos v. umbellatos reperimus in Trymalio

eellatos in Cryptandra ; sessiles v. subsessiles et glomeratos in
Spyridio, si S. Waterhousii excipias.

Tubus calycis ultra germen haud aut vix productus est in Poma-
derride, Trymalio plerisque Spyridiis ; brevissime ultra ovarium

nullis Cryptandris sicut in Spyridii sectione Stenanthemo.
